We've done the ads we hate. So are there any that you like ?

I love the Citroen 4 - the one were the car dances - it's brilliant. I like the music too.

Bet everyone likes this one. :)

Brilliant, love it. I enjoyed those Mini ones recently, the ones which were like a public announcement informing of 'fake' minis.

I found out that the music on the Citroen ad is called, 'Jacques your Body' by 'Les Rythmes Digitales'

here's a link .. you can look up various ads ..

Thanks for the link, Lindy...Superb!!!

There was a Mitsubishi L200 ad on TV, back in 2003, which featured the old Jim Croce song, 'You Don't Mess Around With Jim'. I couldn't find out who sang it, I know now, thanks to you. I've just ordered the CD from Amazon.

By the way it's Josh Turner, — no I've never heard of him either, but that's the way my CD collection goes... :slywink:

I just had to edit my post about the car ad .. I got mixed up with the Citroen 4 and 5 !! ( different music on them).

I like the Mazda 'Zoom Zoom' ad too. :nod:

We ordered a CD from this site too. Remember the 'Flora Pro Active' ad .. we loved the song on it and it's called 'Patta Patta' by Miriam Makeba.

Set to the stripped-down acoustic soundtrack of José González' "Heartbeats", 250,000 'superballs' come flying, in slow motion, over the brow of a typical street in San Francisco, raining down on anything that gets in their way. And it was done without computer graphics. http://www.bravia-advert.com/

I love this advert, downloaded the soundtrack too. :unibrow:

I like the current T Mobile ( U Fix ) ... The catchy song on it is nice. :)

I don't blame them for wanting to make rock cakes.:p

Those 'Talk Talk' phone ads, the ones where people make moving pictures - it's very clever.

The Grass seed advert with the singing frog was funny. The Carcraft ad isn't bad either!

I am lovin the soundtrack on the O2 adverts, the one with the big water bubble.

I am loving this advert! :D

I think this one's really clever. They've been "advertising" it on the BBC for the past week.

The Borat advert for the forthcoming movie:eek:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_FsuBhhD4Y

I liked the Radio 2 advert. However, some of the comments were a bit perplexing.

Gotta be fake-- Keith Moon and Elvis (and Marvin Gaye) died long before Sheryl Crow and Noel Gallagher rose to fame. Cool though!

Holy ****! When was this and what was it all about?

******s

Another 2 brilliant adverts Scousedave... the Elvis one is very clever... and Borat.... a Borat is for life, not just Christmas .... yamshemash! :D

here (http://www.bravia-advert.com/paint/thead/full/low/)

Can u believe the paint is all real? The entire thing, one minute and five

seconds of end footage, was put together over ten days from the 26th of July using a whopping 70,000 litres of paint requiring one tonne trucks to deliver.



The paint was specially made for the job with a unique water-based mixture that allowed it to be easily cleaned up once the water content had evaporated.

With public safety in mind it was also completely non-toxic and safe enough to drink if the film crew ever got too thirsty.

Shooting the paint with enough

firepower to invade Iraq was 413 single, triple and sextuple paint bottle bombs, 323 single, double and triple mortars for launching paint into the air, 330

metres of steel pipe to pump it up the tower in particular, and an almost ridiculous 57 kilometres of copper wire. :shock:

I love the music in the advert for Velux windows.
I'd like to know who sings it but I can't find it anywhere on the

web. I've even looked for it in You Tube ads but there's nothing.

Also, I like the reggae music on the panel show QI ... can't find out what that

is either.

An ad I liked when I was a kid in England. . . . Also see my poem "Aah Bisto!" at http://chrisgeorge.netpublish.net/Poems/AhhBisto.htm

Never seen an advert in about 3 years. As soon as any program finishes, the mute button goes on. The whole world has gone advertising mad. These days you don't even get a program without 'sponsered by........' and THEN adverts.

Same here - as soon as the ads come on I turn the sound down or switch over.

I won't even listen to commercial radio - can't tolerate the constant ads repeated over and over.

All the Brit stuff I download has had the ads removed. :)

Some ads are absolutly f*ng anoying IE: all the Halifax adverts, the Safestyle double glazing(the one where the bald guy shouts at you, boy would you like to give him a slap) and others, but there are some that are worth watching. IE the Boddingtons advert with Melanie Sykes "Eh Tarquin... are yer trolleys on right way round?", and the Honda Acord advert to say the least. Honda (http://media2.thomson-intermedia.com/?02463095E2923F773830F872F5F9E3CA2F59E7717F27AE26A 59CF5547D8AE66B/R) one of my favourits.

That's one advert I could watch over and over. Genius :PDT11

As for the rest though... paying BBC has its advantages, no adverts! Sky bugs me though. You pay them a fortune and they still have hours of ads.

The car ads are usually quite good.



I'm sick of the constant sofa ads.

I've always liked the Carling ads too. And the Budweiser ones with the talking lizards (?) but not the wazzup ones.

The Green Giant sweetcorn ad with the two little boys. One's mum saying you are what you eat. :)

What's that music called on the Vauxhall Corsa ad ?? It's Sean paul but I don't know the name of it.

I LOVE it ! :celb (6):

I'm still loving this one ! It's the music - I like Sean Paul. :)

'' come on !'' '' come onnn !! ''

those little toys running about everywhere - one wearing a little white towel and running in front of the car :shock: - lol !

I like the new ad for Skoda where they make a car out of cake :PDT11

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhfEGKc7PLQ&mode=related&search=

I never remember what they're advertising, which isn't the sort of viewer the advertisers want, but I love the aerial shots of people who are formed into interesting shapes of things.
The other one I loved, but don't remember what it was advertising, was the explosion of paint on the tower blocks.
And the shape-shifting cars.

I try to avoid ITV, but like films on Channel 4, so I don't see many adverts, and when they do come on, I mentally swich off (or have another whisky & ginger!).

That catchy advert for the fabric softener, 'do the moves'. Can't think of its name.

God i remember that ad :eek:

Actually, i remember all of them, how sad lol

All I find ads useful for are an opportunity to put the kettle on, otherwise... gimme BBC anyday! But there are some good ones out there.

Saw one this morning. A bloke's in his office, counting down the seconds til 1 o'clock, when he's going to see his girlfriend in a café. The moment it turns "13:00" he legs it out his office, knocking people and paperwork sideways, runs down the street, into the café where his bird's waiting, and sits down... ZAP! He finds himself plonking down into his office chair, at his desk, surrounded by work again. Next day, the same happens. And the day after, and again. The advert's for Vodafone, and the tagline is "why let work take all the good time up in your day".

Live for the moment, work to live don't live to work, and all that :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

I like the ad for comfort softener where the material people dance to 'do the moves, do the moves' !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLUAbkRUvVQ

I like the new one for a cold remedy; it shows the symptoms of a cold as being army battalions and they are attacking the victim. The bit when he chases them off makes me smile.

My fave at the moment is the one for John Lewis where people bring out stages props that make a shadow/silhouette on the back wall - don't know if it's gonna sell any of their products like but still well thought out. Might've suited a new 'Shadows' cd better?

Not many good ones this year...(remember those wh smith ones?).
The Guiness one isn't too bad although they have done better ones before.

I really like the Lloyds TSB ad, which tells the tale of the young couple who meet,fall in love,marry,have children and then granddchildren,all watched from a train .Wonderfully produced,great sound and a very touching tale.I'm swept away every time I see them.
On the other hand,who out there remembers the ads for Pendletons Twicer and the Flatley clothes dryer? Or the Bing Crosby ad for Esso ? Like 'em or loathe 'em,commercials are as much a part of our culture as any thing else.
The measure of their success is our inability to forget them.
BrianD

Another good one that must have taken ages to make is the guiness one with the domino effect culminating in in a great big pint of the black stuff made out of books.
